| Description | Pyropic garnetite from the Podolsko Complex, south Bohemian Moldanubian Zone, Bohemian Massif, records very-high pressure (28kbar, 830 deg.C)conditions of formation of the initial mineral assemblage. As such it represents the first evidence for very-high pressure metamorphism of continental crustal material in the Moldanubian Zone of the Bohemian Massif. This assemblage was extensively overprinted by complex symplectites, formed during a subsequent medium-pressure high-temperature event. |
